The Māori Land Court receives on average 1,600 applications per year in relation to the establishment and management of trusts and incorporations.
Where that land is vested in a trust or an incorporation, such an order will only be made with the consent of the trust or management committee, and may be made for a specified period.
This trust will hold the land for the beneficial owners, hapū, iwi, or Whenua Tōpū trust.
